Whose point of view do you think the first episode will open with?
 

I always have enjoyed opening scenes to movies, TV shows, etc, and how their characters are introduced to us. I really enjoy the different ways the Turtles have been introduced to us in their various incarnations.

We often meet the Turtles through someone's point of view, such as April's as in the first movie and the OT series, or the Turtles themselves as in the 2k3 or both the Mirage and IDW comics.

My question to you is; how do you think the first episode of the Nickelodeon series will introduce the Turtles to us? Through April's view, the Turtle's, or maybe even Shredder's or Hamato Yoshi's?

That is a hard one, we may just be introduce to them all, and later on get a flashback of the origins. My guess tho, would be April, first of all its creates a perspective that we can relate too. It also is a solid way for us to get to know the April character.

I think it will just be the viewers POV. No introduction speech necessarily, just us dropping into a scene that's taking place.

I like it when Splinter (here Yoshi) does the introduction/narrating, just like in the 2009 IDW comics.

This. Mostly because I can't shake this weird feeling that the 'Training' montage we've seen might actually be the first scene of episode one.

I think they'll start with April, she'll somehow meet the Turtles and then Splinter will explain their origin. Pretty standard but it's a great way to introduce them to the audience as April is just meeting them too.

I agree with this,but like Powder said I think its best to get a viewer POV first and then when the origin is covered going into Splinter's POV.

"April is their liaison into the human world." Maybe that was meant as more than just within the story. I'd like to take at least two episodes for her to appear, though, and I share the general sentiment about the training scene.

this is a crazy guess but i'll go with the turtles'...:)

As awesome as it would be to open with the Shredder, I don't feel that's a route one would expect to see from a Nicktoon. So I'm going to have to go with either the turtle's or Splinter's. Personally I'm really hoping April isn't explored at least until a couple of episodes in. While I like her and all, I think opening with her would put far to much emphasis on her and her experiences, rather than the turtles. And while she's a vital key in the TMNT universe, for me it's always been turtles and Splinter first, April and Casey second. I just don't see her on the same level of importance, especially as it sounds like she won't even be offering anything particularly useful to start off with as she did previously as a journalist or scientist.

I'm going to go with the turtles.

I'm voting for the turtles.

I voted turtles. I actually think the very first seen will open with Leonardo.

I voted other, which means that there are lots of possibilities. We could see some street thugs (including possible human forums of Dogpound and Fishface), Foot Soldiers, Kraang aliens, or even April's parents. But after that, I would say April since I've heard she'll have an important role early in the series.

I'd kinda like to see it open from Shredder's POV. That'd be something different. You don't usually see a series begin from the villian's perspective.
